Welcome to

Frail care

Our dedicated frail care unit comprises 19 spacious bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom. Expert nursing care is provided 24/7. A call button in each room connects directly to the centrally located nurses’ station.

We encourage our residents to bring their own furniture and décor to make the space their own. Familiar surroundings encourage a sense of well-being for the elderly.

Residents enjoy three nutritious meals daily, prepared according to their dietary and medical requirements. An activities calendar ensures physical and mental stimulation and well-being, and the resident can participate in daily activities. Through our formal activities calendar, our activities coordinator ensures the movement, participation, entertainment and stimulation of our residents.

In-house catering

Three delicious and nutritious meals prepared every day in our on-site kitchen. Created by a certified chef, our monthly menus are dietician approved. We cater for special dietary needs and those with diabetes.

Generous staff-to-patient care ratios

Patient care remains at the core of who we are, and we ensure medical compliance with the Older Persons Act in all respects. We put respect and compassion at the heart of everything we do.

Physical + mental care

Our trusted and experienced registered nursing staff is available 24/7 to ensure that all aspects of medical and legal compliance are observed at all times. Eden Park is 1km away from NetCare Hospital, Kuils River.

Physical & mental well-being

We encourage all our residents to participate in daily activities, coordinated by our specialist nurse, to promote their mental, spiritual and physical well-being. We adapt the levels of each activity to the needs of every patient.

When the weather allows, our staff takes the frail care residents out into the garden to enjoy some fresh air and the beautiful garden surroundings.

We are constantly looking for new ways to stimulate our frail care residents and recently introduced therapy dogs to our activities list. The companionship and entertainment this recent visit brought our residents was heart-warming and a wonderful new addition to village life.

Our dedicated team

To ensure that our patients’ needs are met, all nursing practice is overseen and managed by our nursing services manager. Under her supervision is a team of registered nurses, healthcare workers, hygiene and cleaning workers and nutritional staff. We routinely consult subject-matter experts in terms of geriatric care to remain at the forefront of care excellence. 

When is frail care an option?

Frail care is often seen as the last stop for residents and this cannot be more untrue. In the event that a resident requires nursing care and can no longer operate independently, they are welcome in our frail care.

frail care related FAQ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

CAN I VISIT MOM AND DAD?
Eden Park is bound by government legislation. When government increases the lockdown level, we unfortunately have to restrict visits accordingly, for the protection of the aged in our care. As soon as government lifts those restrictions, we allow family visits again.
CAN I TAKE MOM AND DAD OUT FOR THE DAY?
You are welcome to take your parent out for the day, as long as you take the necessary precautions with regards to COVID.
CAN I BRING THE KIDS TO SEE MY PARENTS?

Children are welcome to visit as long as they remain under their parents’ watch. They can visit the resident in the communal area or in the garden, but cannot go inside the frail care unit.

CAN I EXPECT ACTIVITIES FOR FRAIL CARE RESIDENTS?

One of the core pillars of our care program is ensuring mental and physical stimulation for all our residents. Our activities coordinator makes sure their mind is engaged during the day.

HOW MANY VISITORS ARE ALLOWED?

Family members can visit residents. We encourage them to sit outside on beautiful days or in our communal spaces if it’s too cold to be outside. We ask that no more than two visitors go into a bed-ridden resident’s room at a time and that no children go inside the frail care corridor.
